12:04 am
there's expectation when you win a championship in 2010 and there is expectation when you get in that ballpark everyday and it's over flowing with your love and affection and there is purity in the formula that this organization goes about trying to meet those standards of excellence. it starts with the fans of historians that we call investors that kept us here in san francisco and goes to the front office comprised of men and women dedicating their lives to this team and goes to baseball operations and the fierce -- the fierce, the ferocious drive of brian saibian and his staff and the most storied manager in san francisco giants history and his teachers and coaches and on to the training and medical staff, but
12:05 am
inevitably it will always draw right on the backs of the men who have numbers on their backs. it's up to them to forge together a chemistry that allows them to believe in one another and this they did. this they did. and with sergio romo threw the last pitch in the 2012 season and he struck out miguel cabriara this group in one pitch they justified -- they justified that expectation, and now they stand before you today humbly stand before you today, and their accomplishment has matched the verrossity of your adoring devotion. no other way to say it and to allow them to plant a
12:06 am
plag and once again they can say it loudly "we are the giants. we are san francisco, and we are the world champions" . [cheers and applause] audience: let's go giants! let's go giants! let's go giants! >> i would like now to introduce a couple of guys who have
12:07 am
inspired all of us with their journeys in this game of baseball. please welcome two of the foundations to this championship team, ryan vogelsong and barry zito. [cheers and applause] >> how are you guys doing? [cheers and applause] me and vogy have a special relationship and we were talking in detroit after we clinchd and i told him how much he inspired him and respects him and me and him have been through states of hell in this game and the lows have been very low but we're enjoying the highs of the highs right now and thanks to these guys right here and thanks to all you guys and it's a real
12:08 am
honor to be up here and be part of helping this team this year. such a blessing so thank you very much. [cheers and applause] >> well, i have been told by older people on this team i need to keep this quick. there are two reasons we won and one we came together and as hunter said we played for the names on the front and not on the back and because of you fans. the way you brought us fort in the season and the post season. we went to the other cities and they weren't as loud as you and quite frankly detroit's fans weren't even norly as loud as you and that's why we won and thank you very much and i told the team i was going to do this
12:09 am
and we have a battle cry that nobody knows about and i'm going to break it out right now and you have to figure it out. it's as simple as this "you're going to jail now" . >> hard to beat. three more main stays to this championship team. matt cain, sergio romo and buster posey. [cheers and applause] >> well, now we have no chance after that. this has been such an unbelievable ride this year. all these guys came together early in spring and really believed in each other. we had
12:10 am
an eventful year and we have romo being romo behind us, but this has been truly amazing and without you guys we wouldn't be here and you guys are by far the best fans in baseball and we got to all right that all this season and it's unbelievable and this next guy needs no introduction but we will give him one anyway. mvp posey. [cheers and applause] >> thank you. audience: mvp! mvp! >> thank you for me look looking around and seeing all the excitement and happiness on everyone's face you realize an accomplishment like this means more than just winning a game. this is about making memories with your family and friends to last a lifetime and i think we
